4 1 / Introduction 1. Introduction The amazing growth of the exican aerospace sector has been the result of coordinated actions of the industry leaders industry, academia and government to build a collective vision of the future and foster its competitive development, the best way to predict the future is to build it. In accordance with this vision it was created and implemented a comprehensive dynamic road map, the National Flight Plan. This was the basis for the development of the (ProAéreo) exican aerospace sector national strategy, and its fourth version presents it as a point of reflection and evaluation. This allows for fine-tuning the strategy defined in previous versions as the sector has evolved and to assess the results of its tactical and operational implementation. This NFP is focused on presenting the results of the projects and action lines proposed since its third version. It also includes a prospective analysis of the aerospace and defense sector s global trends, including its consequences for exico. Finally, it points out the regional strategies of the country s main clusters. The results here reported have been achieved from the first and second NFP versions of the proposals. These show that it is possible to coordinate various exican aerospace sector players to trigger its growth and increase its added value. It is important to note that the PVN is a dynamic document, that must be continuously updated and it demands constant participation of the actors involved in its implementation. This continuous updating process aims at adjusting the roadmap according to the prevailing conditions and identify both the factors that affect its growth and opportunity niches. 7

5 2 / The Aerospace and Defense Industry Worldwide 2. The Aerospace and Defense Industry Worldwide According to arketline estimates, the global aerospace and defense (A+D) market grew about 4.3% in 2011 compared to the previous year, reaching a value of US $1,128.5 billion. It is forecast that by the year 2016 this will reach a value of US $1,238.7 billion with an annual average growth of 1.9% between 2011 and The defense sector was the most profitable one and contributed US $836.1 billion, equivalent to 74.1% of the total A+D market value. The civil segment contributed the remaining 25.9% equivalent to US $292.4 billion in arketline. Global Aerospace & Defense 2012 For the third consecutive year it is expected that the defense sector will slow its income due principally to defense budget cuts in the United States and Europe. At global scale the defense sector seems to have maintained its level of income during the first nine months reported in Nevertheless, it is expected that for the third consecutive year there will be a slow down as a result of defense budget cuts in the United States and Europe. In this manner, the civil sector boom will maintain positive growth of the A+D sector. 2 Deloitte Global aerospace and defense industry outlook Aerospace and defense companies face new cost efficiency challenges in their programs and contracts. In addition to adjusting to global defense budget cuts, they will continue to look for the best options to build more efficient and lighter aircraft, and at a lower cost. These challenges bring a new level of pressure conferred by a high standard industrial environment where innovation is the determinant factor for a competitive advantage. Aerospace and defense companies experience a multitude of challenges, in costs, in the procurement chain, the need for global expansion of their operations, and macroeconomic uncertainty, among others. Beyond these challenges the clients of these companies consistently seek innovation and price improvement. The A & D industry recognizes that innovation is vital and should be done in any way possible, but no longer at any cost. As the A & D Insights Executive Summary of Price Waterhouse Coopers indicates, said convergence of pressures is leading the industry towards a major shift in the direction of the programs that go beyond traditional scheduling, progress monitoring, risk management and penalties to suppliers. In the past, companies responded to pressure through operational excellence, but in today s environment excellence alone appears to be insufficient, as companies, and eventually program managers have to go beyond excellence and offer innovation and financial viability. Estimates for the civil sector indicate that by 2031, the fleet of passenger and cargo aircraft, with more than 100 seats and 10 tons will total 35,490 aircraft, increasing by more than double the 17,170 aircraft in commercial service. The singleaisle passenger aircraft represents the largest segment of the 19,500 new aircraft deliveries planned for the next 20 years. The demand for twin-aisle aircraft is 6,500 9

It is expected that over the next 20 years, technological advances and new products will comply with capacity, cost and efficiency, not only to achieve better quality of flights and make the aircraft more accessible financially, but also to lessen environmental impact. 3 Graph 1. Fleet and deliveries The commercial aircraft market is expected to reach a record revenue level in 2013, due primarily to increased production and market introduction of next generation aircraft. It is likely that by 2013 the global trend of production levels above 1,000 aircraft per year will continue for the third consecutive year. The number of orders will continue to grow because of the continuous improvements and renewals airlines will make to their fleets. They will possibly retire older aircraft sooner looking for more fuel cost-efficient aircraft costs to guarantee a competitive pricing offer to travelers. 5 5 Deloitte Global aerospace and defense industry outlook New deliveries 28,200 Graph 2. History and forecast for large commercial aircraft orders and production (1981 to 2013E) 27, Passenger to freight conversion Recycled & stay in service 5,200 Passenger Fleet 1,790 Freighter Fleet Orders ,560 1, E Source: 2013 Global aerospace and defense industry outlook, Deloitte Retired 9,880 Years Orders Production Seven-year moving average production 4 IDE Due to traffic growth in the Asia-Pacific region, 46% of the demand for widebody passenger aircraft comes from this region. On the other hand, North America and Europe will be receiving 42% of all deliveries of aircraft with more than 100 seats. uch of this demand, particularly in North America, comes from the need that new aircraft and fuel efficient aircraft replace old and low ecologically efficient airplanes. The world s airlines are forecast to take delivery of more than 28,200 new passenger and cargo aircraft between 2013 and 2031, valued at US $3.96 trillion at current list prices. 4 OE suppliers will face major challenges to keep pace with the demanding requirements of production levels required by these, so they are expected to make large investments in the development of skills, tools and manufacturing capacity. Cost efficiency and innovation challenges will occur in the next generation of aircraft that will be developed for both the commercial and defense sectors. The commercial aircraft market this year will focus on the development of the A350 and wide-body aircraft, as well as the development and design of the 777X. Furthermore, the Bombardier C-Series will come as a narrow-body aircraft, as well as 10 11

Finally it should be mentioned the launch by the Brazilian Embraer of the G2 JET successor and the COAC bid of its C919 and ARJ21 aircraft, which will intensify competition with Boeing and Airbus. In the defense aerospace sector, there is a trend toward association between countries to manufacture combat aircraft. Switzerland cooperates with Sweden in the development of the next generation Saab Gripen. Indonesia has joined the South Korean KFX combat aircraft program, while Turkey is looking for a partner country for its TFX combat aircraft program. The sales forecast will be dominated by the Joint Strike Fighter Lockheed artin F-35, a project with a growing customer portfolio, with the partnership of 9 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Australia, scheduled for completion in Progress in the development of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will be crucial for the constant concern of international partners regarding escalating costs, a key factor in the aerospace industry where exico can be acknowledged as a strategic option. Based on data from Aviation Week, Lockheed artin has confirmed orders from more than 15 countries for 340 Hercules C-130 units. There are new competitors around the manufacture of this aircraft, so that delivery on time for these orders will be central to the company. In this segment, the Embraer KC-390, the Chinese plane Shaanxi Y-9, the edium Transport Aircraft (TA) Russian/Indian and A400 are the main competitors. With regard to helicopters, the seven countries behind the Eurocopter Typhoon are expected to grant a development contract for an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) to the Selex Galileo Euroradar consortium as of On the other hand, the U.S. has commissioned Bell to replace the use of Apache AH-64E helicopters with an update. In Europe, Britain and France spend about the same percentage of GDP on defense, and together account for half of the continent s military expenditure and their armed forces are of a similar nature. Both nations are cooperating in individual programs, such as the unmanned (UAV) Watchkeeper reconnaissance aircraft. They have made progress in the field of cyber defense and share research objectives of the English Taranis and the French Neuron aircraft. In this context of intense activity in the international scene, the development and construction of commercial and defense aircraft faces challenges of cost reduction and an emphasis on innovation, design and materials through a reliable supply chain, where exico emerges as a great opportunity. 12

8 3 / The Aerospace and Defense Industry in exico 3. The Aerospace and Defense Industry in exico exico has established itself as a global leader in the aerospace sector. It registered a growth rate of about 20% annually since Currently, there are 270 companies and support organizations most of which have NADCAP and AS9100 certifications. They are mainly located in six states and employ more than 31,000 high-level professionals. 6 6 FEIA, inistry of Economy (SE) and Proexico exico has built its vocation as a manufacturing, engineering and development center with high strategic value. This is due to the degree of technological sophistication of its exports, engineering talent (exico has the largest number of graduates in the Americas) and the quality and competitiveness of its workforce. In addition to this, respect for industrial property in exico has been crucial. exican aerospace exports amounted to US $5.04 billion in 2012, representing an increase of 16.3% compared to 2011, while foreign direct investment in the sector exceeded US $1,300 million according to estimates from the inistry of Economy (SE). 7 7 inistry of Economy (SE), DGIPAT, 2012 Graph 3. exican aerospace exports 5,040 illions USD Exports 4,337 2,042 2,728 3,082 2,522 3,266 1,684 1,267 1,343 1,306 Source: inistry of Economy (SE), DGIPAT According to estimates from the Aerospace Industry Strategic Program, coordinated by the inistry of Economy (SE), the industry is expected to report exports of US $ billion in 2012, with a 14% average annual growth rate. 8 8 ProAéreo, inistry of Economy (SE) 15

9 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan ajor international companies like Bombardier, Safran Group, GE, Honeywell and Eurocopter have found in exico the conditions to develop design and engineering centers, laboratories and production lines capable of evolving quickly to handle more complex assignments in the race for next generations of engines and airframe components. 9 exican National Institute of Statistics, Geography (INEGI) This has been possible due to the wealth and availability of specialized human capital. exico is the most important talent pool in America, with more than 100,000 graduates per year for careers in engineering and technology. This represents a generation of talent and skills in sufficient quantities to supply both aerospace and other industries with medium and high technology. 9 In addition to the new graduates, exico has highly qualified personnel with decades of experience in the automotive industry, electronics, and medical devices and related advanced manufacturing industries. The global infrastructure of quality has also played a major role in the conditions favorable to the industry due to the availability of laboratories, certification units and presence of exican aviation civil authorities. In fact this facilitated the signing of BASA (Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) with the Federal Aviation Administration. This agreement involves the recognition by the United States government of aeronautical certification systems and products made in exico. This allows for the design and manufacture of components in the country, and encourages the development and strengthening of national procurement for the industry of parts manufacturing. oreover, exico is still the most competitive country in the hemisphere in aerospace manufacturing costs. Its legal framework is effective to protect industrial property and to ensure the proper use of the goods produced and exported from the country. The new exican export control system was found to be so efficient and safe by the international community that in 2012 it entered the Wassenaar Arrangement and the Nuclear Suppliers Group Taking into account only the first of the systems, this participation has an access potential to a market of $ million additional dollars in exports. exico is already part of two of the four main systems of export control, and is in the process of applying to enter the remaining two. exico s admission into both systems ratifies the international community s trust in the country as a reliable destination for the integration of sensitive technologies. It also shows the country s commitment to remain a safe destination for the production of goods and services, which includes both restricted technologies and dual use goods and services. Furthermore, proximity to the United States, the world s largest aerospace market, of which exico is now the sixth provider, convergence with the two main manufacturing corridors in North America, and in general the geographical position of the country facing major markets, are attractive conditions for this industry. All of these factors, together with the commitment of industry, academia and government to establish and implement a national strategy that has enabled the creation of high competitiveness poles that work within a certified ecosystem and at world-class level that present exico as a attractive destination in terms of innovation and operational efficiency 16

10 4 / National Strategy 4. National Strategy To give direction to any plan requires us to invest intelligence, energy and consciousness in an industry effort focused on specific objectives outlined in a strategy, which will be a fundamental guide for concrete actions achieve the sector s development goals. A road map focused on innovation, is not built in isolation. It must be product of a team effort: to design it the major players in the aerospace community in exico were convened to define the path to be followed by industry, academia and the government in order to become a flagship industry of the country, to promote technology transfer, methodologies, jobs, investment, training and strategic alliances. This update of the National Flight Plan, shows the progress and alignment requirements that are being worked upon to keep the focus on the goals set since the first version was published, the strategic milestones that guide the efforts that have been made and those that are yet are to be implemented. Below are the key trends that are shaping and will undoubtedly mark at national and international level the course of the aerospace sector; major advances made base on the strategy, along with the skills ans capabilities developed so far Global Trends The importance of analyzing global market trends for the A+D sector lies in gathering of strategic information to determine the most important market niches and evaluate the best way and the scenarios with which exico can gain greater advantage. Following are the main trends which today mark the development of the aerospace industry from a social, technological, economic, political and legal environment analysis viewpoint. 19

12 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy Engines 2013 will focus largely to supply the commercial market for engines. For single-aisle aircraft CF Leap-1 engines and Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engine with will be chosen by OEs for use in models A320neo, 737 AX, the 919 Comac and the Bombardier C Series primarily. For wide-body aircraft, the Trent XWB on the A350 aircraft orders and deliveries will capture orders and deliveries this year capture this year. This trend is a commitment for the next few years and is focused primarily on maximizing profits for airlines as both the aircraft as well these engines have the latest technology in fuel efficiency. In exico, companies like GE and Honeywell are conducting research and design of new turbines, including the turbine GenX, which saves almost 15% in fuel and has a 30% reduced carbon footprint. These design tests were performed in Querétaro at the GEIQ. The R&D of the next generation LEAP-X turbine was also carried out at this center. Alternative fuels The world s leading airlines search on ways to improve their results and the constant rise in fuel prices have shed new trends in performance improvements of aircraft, engines and fuels. There are alternatives based on the use of bio-fuels, synthetic fuels and aromatic composites, which, are environment friendly. Unfortunately the development and commercialization of these fuels is not so profitable even though investment in R&D in the areas of fuel efficiency will continue quite strongly in the coming years. exico has not lagged behind in this area. As of July 1, 2012, the International Standard AST D7566 for the use of bio-fuels blended with conventional jet fuel has entered into force. Commercial airlines have the ability to operate flights with bio-fuels, as long as it meets this standard. exican airline Interjet, was the first in the hemisphere to operate commercial flights with bio-fuel and this was only after two flights had been made in Europe, which places the exican aviation industry at the cutting edge globally. The fuel used was a mixture of 27% bio-jet fuel and 73% of conventional jet fuel which is within the AST D7566 standard. Interjet will operate regular commercial flights with bio-fuel, although taking into account that the certified inventory available in exico is extremely limited, so it will be necessary to wait for them to be more and more constant. Aeromexico made the first transoceanic flight on a widebody jet using bio-jet fuel, the first of its kind worldwide. oreover, institutions such as ASA (the exican Airport Services) and CONACYT (the National Council of Science and Technology), have launched a project to operate a sustainable bio-jet fuel plant in the State of Chiapas. Due to the fact that this is a production process that is just beginning, the actual cost of production of bio-jet fuel is much higher than the cost of conventional jet fuel, but oil prices tend inevitably to rise. It is expected that research to improve these bio-fuels will become greater every day and in the coming years should be in open competition with conventional fuels. Dual and Restricted Use Technologies The development of restricted high technologies of dual-use is the most lucrative for A+D sector,which is strategic in regions with a developed aerospace industry. At the same time, this sector faces budget constraints, concentration of resources on specific programs and require a more efficient supply chain in the defense sector. In the case of exico, through its entry into the main export control systems such as those of the Wassenaar Arrangement, the group of nuclear suppliers and soon the Group of Australia, it has managed to strengthen the capture of investment projects which are continually more profitable and strategic, with greater potential for the promotion of industrial competitiveness through technical and financial compensation. In this context, among the projects that start to emerge are combat aircraft, unmanned vehicles, next-generation materials and knowledge-intensive services (KPO s) for aerospace and defense, including software design and industrial processes for the sector. New aterials: Quieter, Lighter and Cleaner Aircraft The permanent efforts to create lighter, more resistant and quieter aircraft, has been a key factor for civil and defense aviation,which have historically contributed to the R+D of new materials. New materials such as nano-composites are classified as dual use, since they can be used by civil and military aeronautics. An effort has been made to improve the energy efficiency and range of the aircraft. They are continually being made lighter, quieter and imperceptible by radar or detection systems to perfect their use on the battlefield, control noise in large urban areas, optimize their resistance, and avoid their wearing out. At a global level, both the military and civil aerospace sectors have expanded into the manufacture of aircraft that generate fewer emissions, which has brought about the use of new materials, alternative fuels and more efficient engines. In addition to new materials, in the panorama of trends can also be observed the return of aluminum. etals suppliers say their final aluminum-lithium alloy can completely replace traditional aluminum and compete efficiently with the benefits of composites. The lower density of the new alloys provides a weight reduction of between 3 and 6 percent, and new designs can take advantage of its greater strength and corrosion resistance. An example of these is AirWare alloys, which are being used by Airbus in the A350 and Bombardier in its Series C exico has research centers and specialized laboratories in new materials and nano-composites such as the exican Research Corporation in aterials (COISA), Center for Research on Advanced aterials (CIAV) and the Research Institute on aterials (II) from the National Autonomous University of exico 22 23

13 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy 10 Aviation Week, 2012 (UNA), among others. This opens opportunities for the development of new materials, of cutting edge composite materials by joining international innovation networks in these areas. For example, the company National Helicopters and Aerial Vehicles (HELIVAN) is developing graphene 10, a carbon fiber that is 200 times more resistant than steel and which is used in the defense aerospace industry. Unmanned Airplanes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have experienced a meteoric rise in the last decade. A key component of the defense transformation of different nations. The new fiscal reality facing governments such as that of the U.S. are requiring more effective and less risky solutions to win military and paramilitary confrontations in the years to come. Graph 5. Aircraft lifecycle in exico Design and engineering The effectiveness of UAVs in military operations has been proven. The next generation of Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles or UCAV s) will be totally self reliant and have tactical combat capabilities which will progressively replace or complement global power military fleets. Baja California Sonora Chihuahua 11 arket Research edia, marketresearchmedia. com/?p=509 The market for military UAVs in the U.S. will grow at a CAGR of 12% to $18.7 billion in The report concludes that the United States market for military UAVs will generate $86.5 billion in revenue during the period In exico some companies have focused on the manufacture and development of unmanned vehicles. An analysis of the trend towards UAVs indicates that exico has specialized manufacturing capacity, talent for R&D, and dual use international technology agreements needed to convert itself into one of the main suppliers for this market. Recycling and Retrofitting Jalisco Nuevo León Querétaro anufacturing of parts and components 4.2. Strategy: Progress and ain lines Aerospace sector strategy development and its tactical and operational implementation in the form of various tasks, milestones, projects and relevant activities has led us to position ourselves as one of the most important emerging players worldwide. And while the results of the implementation of the National Flight Plan are obvious, a nothing to be improved strategy, is a conformist strategy without major challenges, nor commitments. Therefore, should be evaluated, the remaining tasks and challenges of a competitive strategy, while there is competition doing its job, it is eternally moving and challenging. The overall objective remains: the development of a domestic ecosystem of high added value and competitive integration into international networks of the aerospace sector and defense. By 2013 the national strategy also retains its focus: to convert exico into a destination that addresses the full cycle of an aircraft, while regional strategies are aligned to the grand national strategy according to the productive vocational potential of the main cluster. Aircraft assembly aintenance The National Plan Flight integrates three strategic milestones that were raised since its first release, which have given focus to high-value projects and lines of action of the triple helix, which in line with regional strategies, have enabled the successful completion of ambitious initiatives, and thus, the steady growth of the exican aerospace sector

14 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy Going back into history a little, let us remember our strategic milestones: Graph 6. Strategic milestones Aircraft with high national content Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) Signing of the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) in 2007 and its ratification in 2009 represents a mutual recognition of airworthiness certification systems between the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the FAA, which authorizes the DGAC to certify parts, components, aviation systems and even complete aircraft manufactured and assembled in exico, destined for the United States or other markets, according to U.S. standards and in accordance with FAA regulations. Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (IPA) are currently in place and are in the process of signing the IP (aintenance Implementation Procedures) chapter which will include maintenance and repair processes of aircraft and parts. The continuity and full implementation of the BASA is in line with the strategy of providing products and services in exico to address the entire life cycle of an aircraft. This will allow companies to certify products manufactured and repaired as well as the maintenance performed in the national territory. Aeronautical Service Hub A+D anufacturing Platform Development of Laboratories and Certification Programs exico has a large network of research centers nationwide, which provide support to strategic sectors, including aerospace which occupies an important place. This network of laboratories consists of institutions like CIDESI, CIDETEQ, CENA, CIATEQ, CINVESTAV, CIAV among others, with coverage that includes the major aerospace clusters in exico. Below are strategic projects based on trend analysis performed on each version of the National Flight Plan over the last three years, as well as their progress and strategies: Global Quality Infrastructure The National Quality System is based on the country s validation, certification, standards, methodology and testing capabilities. As a result, the national strategy covers several actions focused on strengthening them. The implementation of best practices, process controls and use of talent are the basis for the aerospace industry in the country having the key links to generate high-quality companies and a value chain sector of a higher added value, leveraged by talent and innovation. In this way the country has developed a global infrastructure in terms of quality testing laboratories and certification units according to the needs and requirements of the global aerospace industry, covering companies with AS9100 certifications, NADCAP processes and people. The quality and safety systems are pillars of the exican aerospace system, whose products and services meet the highest international requirements. In addition to this network of research centers and laboratories, the goal is to extend the spaces and testing technologies that provide technical services, infrastructure, technology assessment parts and equipment as well as technical and administrative support for product certifications and supplier development. Aerospace clusters have also formed organizations that function as an important mechanism of coordination between industry and institutions of higher education and research. This is the case of the Querétaro Aerospace Research and Innovation Network (RIIAQ), which aims to contribute to the development and strengthening of the capacities of research, technological development and innovation, or Aerocluster in onterrey, which seeks to transform the region into a center of excellence in innovation, engineering and procurement of parts and components in North America, so that one of its main objectives is to promote innovation and technology transfer between industry and academia. Various initiatives and programs have been carried out to strengthen the network of laboratories and certification programs focused on aerospace: The exico-european Union Program for Competitiveness and Innovation (PROCEI) managed by Proéxico, has developed different projects in our country focused on strengthening the aerospace sector, which have included the preparation of studies, certification programs, supplier identification, consulting and infrastructure This has helped the national SE industry to strengthen its capacities and raise the level of its competitiveness

15 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy Among the major PROCEI projects are the following: Strengthening technical support to enhance competitiveness of SEs in the supply chain of the aviation sector in central exico The PROCEI project known as strengthening technical support to enhance competitiveness of SEs in the supply chain of the aviation sector in the center of exico is managed by CIATEQ (Advanced Technology Center) and has two main lines of action: 1. The creation and equipping of the Testing and Aerospace Technology Laboratory (LabTA). This laboratory will be completely focused on the aerospace industry and will work closely with 18 OEs, with members of the Querétaro cluster and the SEs comprising this industry in the center of the country. Its design was based on extensive research made of laboratories and similar facilities in Europe, Asia and North America, and its implementation considers the adaptation of models and tests according to the needs of industry in exico in the medium and long term, responding in this way to sector demand of the specialized capabilities which are complementary to those of the three centers that are part of this initiative (CIATEQ, CIDESI, CIDETEC). For its first stage it is expected that LabTA will have different Aero testing structures, such as: environmental testing, nondestructive testing and materials behavior, among others. Proéxico through PROCEI is the driver of this initiative. It will contribute about 29% of total investment ($20 million pesos) in areas such as the acquisition of equipment, standards, databases and AS9100 laboratory certification. Besides the boost to the aerospace sector, these actions seek to support exican SEs in the process of internationalization, having insertion axis in different markets such as innovation, technology transfer and competitiveness. 2. Diagnosis and certification of companies and research centers. Its first phase consisted in carrying out a diagnosis of 51 metalworking sector companies belonging to 7 different states in the center of the republic to identify the feasibility of this group of companies achieving AS 9100 certification. Of these 50 SEs, 20 will be selected to continue in a second accompanying phase and a third phase of AS9100 certification to join the aerospace sector supply chain. The selection of companies to participate in the project was conducted through recommendations by major OEs and the Tier 1 sector, with whom close work is being done to strengthen the national procurement chain. This initiative also will certify CIATEQ, CIDETEQ and, LabTA, thus promoting the productive linking of the region CATIA Training and Certification Center in software engineering and design The National Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology Chamber (CANIETI) through the PROCEI project for Strengthening the CATIA Training and Certification Center and in software engineering and design in the Baja s Innovation and Technology Center (BIT Center Tijuana) has actively participated in generating industry procurement for the high-tech manufacturing sector, particularly electronics and aerospace, activities which have been identified as areas of opportunity in the sector. oreover, the Baja California Aerospace Cluster considers that one of the strategies to strengthen the sector is to have robust ICT services to meet their design requirements and engineering. For this reason, CANIETI shall consolidate during 2013, with support from PROCEI, a space for training and certification of engineers in software design and engineering market leadership to provide high-tech services directed at the aerospace sector. Every engineer and aerospace company will have access to the center and will be able to specialize themselves in the use of the CATIA tool. Through awareness raising events conducted in Tijuana and exicali in the first quarter of 2013 it has been possible to identify specific needs related to software engineering and design for aerospace sector companies. As a result it was decided to expand the scope of the project and increase the number of people to trained and certified adding to the cities of exicali and Ensenada FP National Development Consulting and ethodologies The onterrey Campus of the TEC de onterrey spearheaded the FP National Development Consulting and methodologies project between June 2010 through July 2012, coordinated with the triple helix of supporting 100 companies (18 micro-sized companies, 46 small, 36 medium-size companies) to prepare to achieve the quality system AS-9100 Rev certification. Among the results obtained, there was a sales growth of 20 to 25% and between 10% and 12% growth in number of jobs and 27 companies were successfully integrated within the aerospace procurement chain (with 9 of the major trailblazing companies among which are: Bombardier, EATON, Honeywell, ITR, Safran and Eurocopter). In this way the industry is boosted and the virtuous circle of training, implementation, certification and procurement is closed which the aerospace sector requires inside of their products and services with high added value A Capabilities Improvement Project in Chihuahua With the aim of increasing the degree of integration of the metal mechanical sector of the State of Chihuahua, to improve the quality of products parts assembled by SEs, and ensure that these are integrated into international markets particularly the aviation sector, two lines of action were established: The first seeks to innovate, develop and improve product design and product parts, The second will certify that the parts involved are destined to the aviation industry. Regarding the first line of action, a Fab Lab (Flexible anufacturing Laboratory) will be installed, which will be located in the Park of Innovation and Technology Transfer (PIT2) of the onterrey Technological Institute (ITES) Chihuahua Campus. The Fab Lab is based on the model of the global network of laboratories at 28 29

16 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy the assachusetts Institute of Technology (IT) and is a space for experimentation and production that allows the generation of prototypes and short-run releases. It will be the first of its kind in exico and the fourth in Latin America. This space will allow SEs to carry out innovation activities, design and development of new products. With regard to the second line of action corresponding to the evaluation and certification of parts in accordance with the standards of the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP), this will be conducted through the Center for Research in Advanced aterials (CIAV), accredited with 13 different material tests, which will allow for NADCAP parts certification and consequently the insertion of these in the aviation market. This project is in the human capital training phase and is being carried out prior to the installation of the first phase of the Fab Lab and the tender for the second phase of equipment acquisition. Furthermore, CIAV is working on the areas of opportunity identified in the NADCAP per-audit DGAC Offices As a result of the efforts made by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to meet the growing demand for services related to the aerospace sector in different parts of the country, a regional DGAC office was established in Querétaro as one of the first which are planned to be opened throughout the country. Thus, the first decentralized DGAC has as priority the certification of aircraft parts manufactured in the country within the framework of the bilateral aviation safety agreement between exico and the United States (BASA) The development of turbines in exico exico has successfully developed a variety of motor activities, ranging from design, engineering and manufacturing of parts, units and systems through maintenance and repair. ajor international players in exico have found the talent needed to drive high-value tasks related to the next generation of turbines. Engine design and manufacturing activities in exico are performed by large international engine industry players. Companies like Honeywell, GE and Snecma, together with their supply chains, cover the vast majority of processes and skills needed to develop engines from their concept and design through manufacturing and repair. Considering the large companies that currently operate in exico and their suppliers, they have manufacturing capabilities and the ability to repair large, medium and small engines, including next generation engines. The main companies engaged in this activity in exico are: General Electric (Querétaro), focused on the repair and manufacture of large engines. Honeywell (Chihuahua) focused on the repair and manufacture of medium and small engines. SNECA / SAFRAN (Querétaro), focused on the repair and manufacture of medium-sized engines. Churchill (Sonora) focused on the manufacture of blades for Rolls Royce and their application in new products. ITP (Querétaro) focused on the manufacture and repair of low-pressure turbines. As for the design of parts, components and/or turbines in exico, the leading companies are Honeywell, with its centers in Chihuahua and exicali, and GE and ITP in Querétaro, which SNECA might join in the near future. Although only one of these companies is located in Sonora, the state has a clear engine vocation, and is consolidating a cluster targeting this segment. Companies like Trac Tools of exico, UTAS, ESCO, Wallbar Engine Components are developing their capacities and several have drawn the attention of major international players like Rolls Royce, which in 2012 opened an acquisitions office in Guaymas, Sonora. Even though exico has the capabilities needed to design and manufacture complete engines, turbine development can be promoted further through actions such as: 1. Development of Advanced echanical Engineering Education Capacities with emphasis on 3D modeling (UNIGRAPHICS and CATIA 5). 2. Specialization in certified laboratories for endurance, life, metallographic and other tests. 3. Offset program for manufacturing and maintenance of engines in exico. Some success stories related to turbines in exico include: The exicali Research & Technology Center The exicali Aerospace and Technology Center (RTC) of Honeywell is a center of engineering and integrated technology comprised of a design center, a laboratory integration system, and a testing attachment and business support team. The RTC is an important laboratory integration system, the first exican aerospace industry. It allows for full scale simulation of multiple aircraft systems, providing the ability to test their interoperability, control and technical maturity. These facilities test a wide range of subsystems and electrical / mechanical products for next-generation aircraft in the air transportation market. Its testing annex supports a wide variety of electronic and/or mechanical activities and manufacturing processes as well as instrumentation test functions. Honeywell Aerospace Chihuahua Honeywell s Aerospace Chihuahua anufacturing Operation consists of highly complex machining manufacturing facility. The facility hosts a Warehouse, Labs, 30 31

17 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy Quality Control Operations as well as Engineering. HCO (Honeywell Chihuahua anufacturing Operation) is one of the most advanced machining operations in the Aerospace industry. It features a start of the art Blade anufacturing cell as well as numerous highly advanced Aerospace machining cells. The site manufactures a number of parts for Aerospace Engine and APUs including Engine assembly ducts, gears and shafts, blade manufacturing, impellers, nozzles, disks, stators, seals, nozzle segments, etc. General Electric GEIQ is the largest Global Engineering Center for GE Aviation and the second for GE Energy. The center achieved a significant expansion in 2011, hiring more than 240 engineers and designers and enabling the center to ramp up sales to US $80 million for the year. Some of the areas of specialization include echanical, Electric, Controls and Software Engineering. In Aviation, GEIQ engineers participate today in the design of the new generation of aircraft engines, including the successful GEnX or the new LEAP-X. It also provides support to existing engines, such as the CF56, in the areas of production, redesign and operation. In Energy they focus on diverse technologies ranging from steam and wind turbines, to generators or gas turbines, being in charge of Services for Latin America and also supporting local projects such as the installation and set up of GE turbines in Tamazunchale and anzanillo. Eurocopter Within the Aerospace cluster in Querétaro, Eurocopter has a maintenance center to run small and medium inspections equivalent to flight hours and one and two years of use for the Ecureuil (Squirrel AS350, AS355 and EC130) family of aircraft, which has the capacity to inspect six helicopters at the same time and is also equipped with helicopter AS365N3 specifications (Dolphin model). This center aims to provide a variety of services to meet required quality standards and develop as one of the best helicopter maintenance bases nationwide Aircraft with high domestic content One of the most important milestones in the strategy is to have an aircraft take off from exico made with domestic parts and high exican engineering and integration contents. In order to do so, different companies have gradually increased their capabilities in design, engineering and manufacturing, and have currently conceptualized, designed, tested and produce complex structures, aerospace components and systems in exico. Some of the most advanced companies involved in this strategic milestone are Bombardier, whose progress made with the Learjet 85 is very prominent. This aircraft, manufactured mainly from composite materials, is an example of collaboration in the context of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as it involves the company s plants in exico, Canada and the United States of America. Currently, the Bombardier Aerospace plant in Querétaro, exico is responsible for manufacturing the fuselage; assemble the wings, the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, and the manufacture and installation of this innovative aircraft s electrical harnesses. The Learjet 85 is fully assembled in Wichita, KS in the United States. The Learjet 85 program s development in exico represents a major step forward, considering that the company began operations in 2006, and only seven years after its establishment in exico is manufacturing the components of a new aircraft, contributing to the development of the aerospace industry in exico. Together with the technical skills, exico is developing all of the other conditions needed to achieve compliance with this milestone Defense Strategy Strategic Trade exico is a major player on the international stage in the production of industrial goods. It has become a responsible ally, reliable for the development, production and distribution of aerospace, defense and dual goods. exico is taking accelerated steps to do business in the defense and hi-tech and defense market by creating the conditions needed to provide certainty to the international community. Based on a proper logical international business attraction, and in the context of security and control of information, processes, products and services, it will create significant opportunities to: Attract investment, facilitating access to multinational corporations producing next generation technology and access to high technology contracts. Promote the development of new sectors in the diversity of goods and technologies. Transfer cutting edge technology and added value, strengthening national capacities. Boost major technology-based industries (aerospace and software industries). Provide legal certainty of foreign trade operations by allowing trade between countries that share the same control regimes Export Control Regimes Trust and eligibility conditions to participate in high technology and defense projects should also include mechanisms to attract businesses with the greatest potential for economic development, add value, improve exico s competitiveness and national innovation capabilities. exico has become a promoter of strategic trade and created an interdepartmental group in which the members contribute their global market perspective, 32 33

18 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy identifying possible investment opportunities and international trade, focusing its business efforts and competitive intelligence on identifying potential projects to encourage our country s participation in defense markets and high technology (without restrictions to access to dual-use technology) to attract the benefits of economic and technological development implicit in these markets. From this dynamic the need to enter the major export control regimes was identified, which called for modifying the system of national export controls. Thus, the new export control system exico implemented in 2011 with the publication of the Decree that subjects conventional arms, dual-use goods, software and related technologies to permits prior to export Wassenaar Arrangement The first version of the National Flight Plan highlighted the huge potential for the country s economic and technological development in the dual-use technologies and defense markets, both in the research, design, development and manufacturing processes and products, as in supply services associated with these industries. On January 25th, 2012 exico officially joined the Wassenaar Arrangement, which has been established contribute to regional and international stability and security by promoting transparency and accountability in the transfer of conventional arms, goods and dual-use technologies. Different ministries and organizations were coordinated to generate the new exican export control system and the conditions needed to enter this regime, identifying the greatest impact for the economic and technological development of our country, among the top five. exico s joining the Wassenaar Arrangement has two important implications: 1) exico is part of a community committed to non-proliferation of conventional weapons that agreed to promote a safe environment for trade in goods and technologies and restricted use between country members. 2) As part of this agreement, exico entered the club of high technology countries, which allows it to access new markets and cutting edge technology, while enhancing the country s competitiveness and attracting investment in various strategic sectors. embership does not generate obligations related to technology or knowledge transfer among participating countries; however, it offers certainty to the international community and at the same time makes exico eligible as a reliable partner to develop business in the high technology market restricted to those who previously had no access. The potential economic and technological development is huge since the moment exico joined the Wassenaar Arrangement, it is estimated that access to an additional export market could be of nearly US $11.3 billion per year. However, it is necessary to formulate a strategy to maximize and capitalize on the potential benefits of being part of the Wassenaar Arrangement. This is why the inistry of Economy and Proéxico, along with the governments of different states have coordinated the creation of regional strategic plans that provide direction to further develop the aerospace industry while establishing the hi-tech competitive poles restricted, both in the research, design, development and manufacture of products, as in the supply services associated with this industry Other export control regimes Although the Wassenaar Arrangement is the export control regime with the largest impact on the aerospace and defense industry in exico, the country has also sought admission to other regimes to increase competitiveness and international business opportunities. Thus, on November 16th, 2012 exico became the 47th member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group established in 1974 that aims to contribute to non-proliferation of weapons and nuclear material by implementing guidelines to regulate the export of nuclear goods as well as software, technologies and related dual-use products. With this new membership, the exican export industry becomes more competitive, operates in an environment of safety and strengthens its industrial platform to continue the development of cutting edge technology controlled in sectors that use nuclear items such as the generation of electricity and nuclear medicine, among others. exico is currently preparing its application to join the Australia Group (AG), which consists of 41 members and focuses on the control of chemicals, biological agents and items and equipment to manufacture dual use chemical and biological substances in the chemical and biotechnology sectors Procurement of Equipment and Industrial Compensation Systems (OFFSET) and Government Procurement As the detection of the potential benefits offered by export control regimes, since the first version of the National Flight Plan, the group comprised of industry, academia and government identified industrial offsets as a way to develop competitive industries, promote design capabilities, research and development, promote the generation of intellectual property in partnership with big corporations, assimilate and produce new technologies, all derived from large acquisitions made by the country, especially through government procurement. Offsets are industrial compensation practices established as a condition to purchase contract negotiations for major acquisitions (e.g. the purchase of aircraft). These compensation practices are used in military and commercial purchases. Offsets can be direct (involving goods and services directly related to the items purchased) or indirect (involving goods and services unrelated to the items purchased) and include practices such as co-production, licensed production, subcontractor production, technology transfer, trade species, training and foreign direct investment among others

19 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy As a result of this strategy, exico is currently undergoing the first approach to industrial policy offsets, which seek to attract new technologies, industrial and commercial development and improving the competitiveness of strategic national and regional projects From Buy American to Buy NAFTA The Buy American Act in the United States, which considers all government acquisitions and the U.S. Department of Defense, restricts purchases from suppliers whose products do not have a minimum of 50% national content. Article 1004 of the North American Free Trade Arrangement (NAFTA) bans the existence of protectionist domestic legislation in government acquisitions made by exico, Canada and/or the United States (this does not apply to exico, at this time). Because of this and aware of the benefits that will result from eliminating this restriction, exico intends to sign a emorandum of Understanding (ou) with the United States for exemption from the application of the Buy American Act in the U.S. Department of Defense purchases. This ou will establish that the application of the restrictions imposed by the Buy American Act and the Balance of Payments Program for the purchase of products (Waiver ). This ou will be signed to guarantee reciprocal treatment in military purchases between exico and the United States Creation of a security block for North America Several situations that have emerged in this region (the 9/11 attack, the Katrina Hurricane and the war against drug traffic, among other) have made Canada and the United States realize that they need exico s cooperation and participation to guarantee security in North America. Certain trilateral processes, such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SSP) and cooperation on intelligence, military exercises, technical assistance and military training in cooperation with exico through the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCO), are solid proof that exico is a key component to offer a comprehensive solution for shared problems (organized crime, terrorism, natural disasters) threatening security in the North America region. For all three countries comprising the North America region, this type of cooperation initiatives on military matters shows a trend to create a common security block in the region. This allows convergence among them, to promote greater trade and economic integration, particularly in high-tech industries, along with the promotion of safety and the creation of higher living standards for the people living within these boundaries. The integration into a North American security block is strongly tied to a regional economic integration in the field of dual-use technologies (civilian and military). exico s acceptance as a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement has proven that it is a reliable country for the integration of industrial processes that are sensitive to the defense and hi-tech industries, which makes the North American block more competitive on international markets Dual-use high technology platform - defense parks The geostrategic position and the competitive and comparative advantages of exico, position it as the ideal place for the production of goods and the development of sensitive technologies, which could be used for commercial and development as well as for the production of goods and dual use technologies. exico s participation as a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement presents new opportunities for attracting hi-tech civil and military projects. It is important to note that exico currently attracts 5% of the total number of licenses granted by the State Department of the United States of America for the production of dual-use goods. Under these conditions, and considering the general factors that make exico a competitive and attractive country in the international arena, a particular strategy and associated policies were implemented to develop this industry and attract greater investment and high value technology. One of the premises of the strategy is that the focus of the defense sector in specific poles of competitiveness will continuously attract advanced manufacturing companies, technology and talent thanks to its evolution and geographical position. The strategy thus foresees the creation and development of specialized parks that have the infrastructure, procedures and conditions set by international control regimes, while facilitating transactions and the logistics of the companies operating within. This can be achieved if the park is designed and operated as a special economic zone with a focus on dual-use industries and restricted technologies. Specialized infrastructure for parks thus considers the following elements: A Research and Development Center in dual-use and restricted technologies. A Technological Park, Incubator and Business Accelerator. Specialized Service Centers (Office of Export Controls of the inistry of Economy, the exican Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), and the National etrology Center, among others). Laboratory tests available for both industry and academia certifying entities. A Technical Support Center for Information Technologies. Perimeter Security Controls for the concept of full adherence to the safety standards managed by companies in this field. The actions propounded, both in terms of the generation of public policy and infrastructure development are aligned with the overall strategy to boost high international competitiveness poles in this case, specializing in products and dual-use technologies

20 exico s aerospace industry road map // national Flight Plan 4 / National Strategy Integral Aviation Services Center in exico The global aerospace industry will bring structural changes in the way it does business over the next 10 years. Rising fuel and raw material costs, among other trends, will undoubtedly affect the profits earned by airlines, manufacturers, and companies engaged in maintenance and airline fleet repairs. The search for competitive regions, skilled labor and logistics offering cost advantages are the main business drivers for the establishment of comprehensive aviation hubs. These Comprehensive Aeronautical Centers are expected to offer an ideal ecosystem for the industry s development, providing advantages in fields such as maintenance services, conversion and mature fleet management and decommissioning; integration of the supplier chain for spare parts and repair services, the establishment of preferential trade areas, and training and access to technicians, engineers, pilots, crew and ground support personnel, whose demand will increase in coming years. For exico, it s geographical and business position in the hemisphere as the skills developed in advanced manufacturing and process engineering, offer an excellent opportunity to establish the country as one of the leading centers for global aeronautical services. exico is therefore keenly interested in establishing an Aeronautical Service Center that integrates traditional business opportunities with next generation aircraft and engines, both in terms of maintenance and repair activities, and complementary activities to integrate national and international supply chains and address the full life cycle of an aircraft. exico is working with key industry players, especially in the areas of intelligent fleet management mature, engine and airframe maintenance in order to operate this Integrated Aeronautical Center in exico. One of the first results of the competitive conditions being offered by exico in this activity is the alliance between Aeromexico and Delta Airlines. In addition to the approach of major international players with the purpose of establishing strategic alliances with exican companies in creating the RO hub. On the other hand, European and American companies have started to establish approaches to mature fleet restructuring and dismantling to complement the vision of the Integrated Aeronautical Center. The strategy to define localization and commissioning will be demarcated by evaluating the different clusters in exico, which can still be implemented. The locations evaluated have the space needed to house a world-class hub and the best aircraft flows to validate the initial business case. Each airport evaluated has a developed industry around it, with the growth and capabilities to strengthen the suppliers needed. Following are two of the major components that will be part of the hub Intelligent anagement of ature Fleets (TARAC) The aim is to establish a center dedicated to the last phase of the life cycle of an aircraft, where these can be removed, dismantled and recycled in safe and environmentally responsible conditions. This activity creates significant business lines through the extraction of materials which can be recycled, and the sale of valuable components that can still be reused, either directly, or after undergoing RO processes. The dismantling of aircraft that have completed their life cycle is a great business opportunity, especially after Airbus announced that 85% of all aircraft parts can be recovered, reused and recycled after Nearly 10,500 commercial aircraft are expected to reach the end of their useful lives over the next 20 years, and must be dismantled and recycled for environmental and public health purposes. The proposal is to operate the project under the regulations established by the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA), whose purpose is to stop improper disposal practices for these means of transportation and institute a code of conduct for dismantling aircraft. Boeing and ten other companies created AFRA in 2006, which currently has close to 70 members, including Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Safran Group, Bombardier and Bell Helicopter International Aerospace Training Center The development of an Aerospace Training Center has been propounded as part of the Aeronautical Services Hub to develop human capital and complement the efforts made by other national academic institutions with aerospace programs. This is intended to meet the strong current and future demand for trained personnel in various fields of the national and international aviation industry, and will thus seek to address various disciplines including aircraft operations, design, manufacturing and maintenance. This center will train pilots, crew and ground support personnel, engineers and technicians specialized in RO, avionics and electronics, inspectors and auditors in accordance with international quality standards. The training center will be developed for a specific purpose or as part of certain academic institutions with aerospace capabilities, depending on the Hub s location. However, aerospace companies currently established in exico have the support of the exican educational system, which has proven to be very successful in training technicians and engineers with expertise in maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft and their components. For decades, the exican educational programs have produced professionals who have performed superbly in national RO and aerospace manufacturing companies. The quality and international recognition of exican programs have made major global operators and companies pursue strategic alliances with the major players in exican aerospace education, to develop special programs and ensure their access to local talent sources. exico s experience in training professionals for the aerospace industry goes beyond the explosive growth in recent years, having hosted some of the most famous training centers in Latin America that train pilots, ground and air staff and RO technicians, for example, evolving academic programs to implement sophisticated design and engineering focused on aeronautics. To date they have developed the training skills required and the training of aviation personnel across the nation, such as strengthening of the Aeronautical University in Querétaro (UNAQ), the National Polytechnic Institute, and the exican Council of Aerospace Education (COEA) among others
